Özet Bananas are one of the most extensively cultivated fruits globally, yielding substantial amounts of greenery, including their leaves. Banana leaves (BL) have notable protein content, bioactive compounds, and a significant fiber component. This study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating dried and nutrient-determined BL along with a multienzyme complex into the diet of quails. The experiment lasted 35 days, a total of 280 one-day-old quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were allocated into four groups with seven replicates. Experimental diets were formulated with the addition of dried BL at levels of 0% (C), 3% (BL3), 6% (BL6), and 9% (BL9), with the inclusion of 1,000 mg/kg multienzyme complex to the basal diet. The total fiber content of diets was determined at 2.77%, 4.28%, 5.77%, and 7.28%, respectively. The inclusion of BL in the diet did not significantly affect growth performance. However, the addition of 3% and 6% BL to the diet resulted in a significant reduction in meat oxidation. A 6% BL inclusion led to the lowest serum low-density lipoprotein and the highest high-density lipoprotein concentrations (p < 0.05). Meat yellowness (b*) increased with all three levels of BL in the diet compared to the basal diet (p < 0.05), while L* and a* values remained unaffected. A 6% BL addition to quail diets may lead to improved meat quality and higher serum HDL concentration without detrimental effects on growth performance.
